Gorgeous and expensive carpets, glittering crystal chandeliers, delicate and huge oil paintings, men holding wine glasses and whispering softly, glamorous ladies, men and women with ghosts and ghosts dressed in aristocratic clothes and heavy masks, for different purposes, hypocritically polite here.

I glanced up at Cizaire, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes, but at once a smile of great joy immediately bloomed, and he said aloud, "My distinguished guests, I welcome you from afar. ”

There was a cheer below, and Cizer, Cezel's name came and went in the mouths of the crowd.

There was no smile in Cezel's eyes, and he glanced faintly not far away, his gaze locked on a blonde man in a green silk gown.

The young man noticed Cizer's gaze, and immediately stepped forward, bent down with great grace and made a noble salute, and said, "Lord Duke, I, I, on behalf of the Duchy of Ferrara, sincerely thank you for your hospitality. ”

Easter, isn't that the hapless Duke of Ferrara?

I couldn't help but look at him a few more times, he was very young, probably in his early twenties, handsome in appearance, elegant in temperament, unlike the nobles around him, his blue eyes were exceptionally clear, such clear blue eyes reminded me of flying birds.

He noticed that I was looking at her and smiled at me, with no hidden admiration in his eyes.

"Duke Easter, this is my sister Luclesie." Cizer let me go gently, and took me without a trace

Push in the direction of East.

"I've heard of Miss Lucresi's name for a long time, and it's even more exciting to see it today." Esther said politely.

I groaned in my heart, I had long been unable to find the praises of the North, South, and North, but now, I knew, that he was praising the real Lycles, and that I was but a pawn in the hands of the wicked man.

Looking at Easter's smiling face, a thought suddenly turned in my mind, if he hated me, wouldn't he not mention marriage? In this way, the young man was saved, and Cezel's plan was ruined.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing, "Duke Easter, I have also heard about your deeds from my brother a long time ago, you are such a remarkable person. ”

Easter's face flushed slightly, and he smiled.

Cizer was obviously pleased with my performance, and said, "Duke Easter, let's talk about my sister." ”

East looked at me with a smile and reached out for a hand, and I smiled and gave him my hand.

"Duke East, it's too stuffy here, why don't we go for a walk in the garden." I warmly invited him, just to get out of Cezel's sight.

A flash of joy flashed across his face, and he followed me towards the garden.

The faint moonlight shines on the Italian-style garden, which is full of romance. I stood still in front of a laurel tree, and he stood in front of me, looking at me steadily.

"See what?" I asked.

"Miss Luclesie, your eyes are so beautiful." He praised without hesitation.

I was relieved, and it seemed that I was still stained with the light of these green eyes.

"Duke East, do you like me?" I asked.

He didn't seem to expect me to ask so directly, so he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"But I don't like you." I looked at him coldly, "This green dress of yours makes you look like an ugly frog, and I don't like the way you speak, with a thick accent, it's too indecent." In addition, you don't like it, you live like a hedgehog. ”

He was obviously confused by my words, and I felt that I was excessive, but it was also a last resort, and I thought about it and decided to add another one.

"What's more, Duke Easter, my favorite person is my brother-"

"Lucressy!" A voice from behind me interrupted the second half of my sentence, and my body stiffened, he, why is he here?

I didn't dare to look back, but Cizer stepped forward, hugged me affectionately, and said, "I'm really sorry, Duke Easter, my sister has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she says things that are out of proportion. ”

He turned to me with a smile and said, "Luclesi, when you get married, you can't say any more childish things." ”

Although he was smiling, the cold air in his eyes made me tremble, and I suddenly felt chills all over my body.

The Duke of Easter had obviously not come to his senses yet, and after a while, he hurriedly said goodbye and left with a strange expression.

Only me and Cizer were left in the garden.

He didn't say anything, but my heart beat faster and faster because of fear, and I ruined his plan, and he wouldn't let me go so easily.

"My dear sister, have you forgotten what I said?" A strange smile tugged at his lips, "I said I hate disobedient people the most. ”

In the moonlight, his light green eyes were particularly eerie, flashing with a cold light. My heart was about to jump out of my chest, and I reflexively ran backwards, and after just two steps, he pulled me back, and he unceremoniously dragged me to the next room. "You're crazy, Cizer, your guests will see it at any time!" I wrestled his hand desperately, my abdomen throbbing from excessive tension, and I didn't know how this terrible man would punish me......==================

He snorted softly, obviously not caring at all, no matter how much I resisted, he still dragged me into the room.

"I said that I don't want to marry the Duke of Ferrara, so I will be my female companion tonight." As soon as I entered the room, his anger was unreserved, and he pulled me over and threw me to the ground.

"You actually used this trick," his expression calmed down in an instant, and he stared at me coldly.

I rubbed my sore shoulder, stood up, and said, "I also said that I hate people trying to blackmail me. ”

His eyes suddenly became confused, as if he was remembering something, and whispered, "She said the same thing a long time ago." ”

"What?" I asked casually.

"I like my brother the most, my Lyuklesie said something like that, Ryuklesi ......" There was a sad look on his face, as if he was immersed in the memory.

"Where's Luclesie?" Seeing that he was in a trance, I took the opportunity to ask.

"Luclesie...... his eyes suddenly turned cold, and the god seemed to come to his senses again, "You want to trick me?" ”

My heart sank, and my sin was added.

"Come here," he said with a devilish smile as he reclined on the soft couch of gold and silver thread, "I will not let anyone who spoils my plans live a little longer, but if you can please me in bed, I may consider keeping you a little longer." ”

I stood still, was he trying to use me as a stand-in for his sister?

"I'm sorry, I can't." I replied coldly.

An elusive look crossed his eyes, and he said, "Aside from your appearance, your personality is completely different from that of Luclesie," he paused, "and that might be more interesting." ”

"Come here." His tone was aggravated, and there was a faint coldness on his face, and I thought that if I didn't go over, I might be going to him off. But if you want to get out of this predicament right now, it seems that ......

"What if I marry the Duke of Ferrara?" I spoke.

He was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Originally, I also wanted to marry you to him, but today you messed up this matter yourself." "Messed up? Not necessarily. I took a deep breath, "You are not the Duke of Ferrara, how can you know his thoughts, since he has come all the way to Rome, I don't think I will give up easily because of my few words." Everything is possible. "Actually, when I said this, I was obviously not confident, because I am not the Duke of Ferrara, and maybe I have offended him with those few words, but in any case, I want to escape tonight.

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow.

"You don't want a woman, you want Italy, and a night of fun is nothing compared to the Duchy of Ferrara." I stared at him, and he stared at me, and I looked at him for about ten seconds, without blinking.

He suddenly laughed incomprehensibly, with endless coldness, "Yes, I only need Italy." So, my sister, I need you.

I breathed a sigh of relief when he called me my sister, and he pushed me into Luclessi's place again.

"Well, then, I'm taking my leave." I hurried out as fast as I could, and as soon as I reached the door, I heard a cold sentence from behind: "I repeat, I hate disobedient people the most." ”

I paused, and walked out the door quickly, why did Cizer hear me talking to the Duke of East, and what should I do next?

Asuka, where the hell are you? Si Yin, what should I do? =====================

The next day, unexpectedly, the Duke of Ferrara proposed to me, and although I don't know why the Duke was willing to marry me, at least Cizer seemed very happy with the result.

That night, a grand ball was held at the court to celebrate the marriage of Luclesi and the Duke of Ferrara.

Cezel smiled so happily that even with a smile in his eyes, he took my hand, placed it on Easter's, and said aloud, "Duke Ferrara, I now hand over my most precious sister to you." ”

"Yes, I will love her well and treat her as my treasure." Esther looked at me with a smile and squeezed my hand.

The melodious music sounded, the nobles danced one after another, Esther took me, slowly spinning, I looked at him with some apologies, I had already stepped on him several times, I glanced at Cizer, who was busy toasting with the guests, and did not pay attention to us at all,

"Can you go to the garden?" I whispered. Esther was stunned for a moment, smiled knowingly, and led me out of the hall without a trace of the music.

"Why...... Still proposing? As soon as I got out of the hall, I couldn't help but ask.

He looked at me with those clear eyes, laughed, and said, "I have never met such a frank girl, Miss Leuklesie, and I admire you very much, for you will not flatter me only with hypocritical polite words. ”

I was stunned there, and suddenly noticed that he changed into a sky blue dress today, oh my God, is this a mistake, this Duke of Ferrara actually liked because of those rude words, no, the man's mind is really difficult to figure out.

Inadvertently, I swept my eyes to the side, and suddenly saw a man who looked like a guard walking towards the palace in a hurry, seeing that his direction was towards where I lived, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, there was only Du Lian's little demon girl, this person was in such a hurry, was there anything special? Could it be related to birds?

Thinking of this, I want to follow, but the Duke of Ferrara is here, and I have to find a way to get rid of him.

"Duke Ferrara, I ......"

"You'd better call me East."

"Okay, East, why don't we play a game, I'll hide in a place in this garden, you count to two hundred and come to me, if you find it, you win, if you don't find it, I win, okay?"

Esther hesitated, my heart was so anxious that I squeezed out a smile and smiled sweetly at him, "If you win, I'll give you a kiss as a reward." ”

It seemed that the occasional seduction still had some effect, and by the time he closed his eyes and counted, I had already run back to the palace where I was staying as fast as I could.

I walked lightly to Du Lian's door and put my ear to it to listen carefully.

"Didn't find any of this?" It was Du Lian's voice.

"Yes."

"There shouldn't be a mistake with the prediction of the blood cards, they should still be in Rome."

"Then we will continue to search in the future, Lord Du Lian, do you want to tell Lord Duke?"

"Not yet."

"So ......"

"By the way, have you done everything the Duke commanded?"

"I have already sent someone to do it, and I believe that almost all the Romans now know about Miss Leuclesie......" Just as he was hearing the important point, the room suddenly became silent, and there was no sound. I wondered if she had found out, so I got up and walked to the garden.

As I walked, I was still thinking about their words, and they seemed to be looking for someone, could it be Lucressy? And what is it that all the Romans know?

As soon as I walked into the garden, I was surprised to find that Esther was still counting, 67, 68, 69, no, it should have been 200 earlier, I couldn't help but call him, he opened his eyes, and seemed a little embarrassed to say, "Sorry, Miss Luclesie, I forgot halfway through the count, so I had to count again." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, this Duke of Ferrara is really a little special, no wonder I can't play Cizer.

However, he seems to be the least obnoxious one here.

I'd rather stay here with Esther than in the ornate halls, at least without seeing the man I hate.

I don't know how long it took, but the guests in the hall seemed to disperse, and Easter saw that it was not too early, and was ready to say goodbye.

"Miss Lecklesi, I am very happy to-night, and I am thrilled to think that I will be able to take you back to Ferrara in two days."

"Two days later?" I was shocked, so fast?

"Yes, the Duke promised me to take you back to the wedding as soon as possible." He smiled slightly, and suddenly took my hand and kissed me gently, "Miss Leuklesie, I look forward to that day. ”

Watching his back go away, my heart was in turmoil, two days, two days later he was going to take me back to the Duchy of Ferrara, how could I go, I still had to find the bird, but now I don't even have a clue, I don't know what happened to the bird, he seems to have disappeared suddenly......

I stood quietly for a while, and was about to go back to my room, when I passed the laurel tree in the garden, when suddenly a figure flashed from behind the tree, and before I could make any sound, I was taken into my arms.

A strong smell of wine came straight to my face, and I was about to push away this unknown man, when suddenly I heard a familiar voice coming from the man's mouth, and I felt a chill in my body.

"Leuklesi ......" is Cezel's voice.

Idiot, I'm not Lucressy, he's drunk too much,

"Luclesie, my Leuklesie, you're leaving me again, leaving me again......" His deep voice seemed to choke up.

I was about to deny it, when it occurred to me that he was drunk now, and that maybe it was a good opportunity to ask something.

Thinking of this, I said softly: "Brother, you are so cruel, you know that I love you, why do you marry me to other men again and again." ”

His body shook and he muttered, "I'm cruel...... Yes, I'm cruel...... Every time I see you married, my heart is burned with the flames of jealousy, but, for Italy, for my Italy......"

There was a sudden heat on my cheeks, as if a drop of burning liquid had fallen on it, and I looked up in amazement, and there were tears in Cizer's light green eyes, did he love his sister so much? But isn't it terrible that he, who loves his sister like this, still marries his sister to other men again and again for his own ambitions?

I didn't sympathize with him, so I settled down and continued, "Brother, do you love me? ”

"Why don't I love, the only woman I love is you!"

His arms tightened, and I was almost out of breath.

"Brother, I love you too, so don't leave again, don't give me to other men."

Cezel's hand tightened, and his tone began to be disordered, "Luklesi, do you still love your brother the most?" But why, you run away from me, no, you don't love me anymore, you fall in love with that damn bird! ”

It was as if a window suddenly opened in the dark room, and my eyes suddenly became clear, listening to Cezel's words, Lucles was really not here, she was actually in love with the birds? And what about the birds? And where is he? Did you leave here with Luclesi......"

"Where's the bird?" I suppressed the excitement in my heart and asked in a low voice.

He didn't say anything more, but suddenly pushed me away again, and staggered away.

My mood fluctuated, and although I didn't ask about the key things, I at least had a clue about the birds.
